BOSH is an abstraction layer that lets you describe immutable infrastructure in an IaaS-agnostic way. There are BOSH providers for AWS, GCP, Azure, OpenStack, VSphere, and a zillion other service providers. Cloud Foundry, which is optimized for the management of applications, builds on top of BOSH. This allows for its unparalleled portability. Now, there is a Kubernetes BOSH CPI. This is very promising!

The Swisscom blog looks at the power of buildpacks. Buildpacks stage an environment for a particular type of application workload that then gets turned into a container that then is run on a platform like Heroku or Cloud Foundry.
